3D-printed shoe soles with structural properties towards reducing knee adduction moments during walking

3D-printed soles reduced KAM variables more effectively than 5° LWIs, supporting their potential for biomechanically optimised footwear upon further assessments on individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
